summer

Just because the summer months are behind us and the cooler weather starts to make its way in doesn’t mean that you are out of danger from the sun. In fact, overcast days can often be more harmful than days where the sun is clearly beaming down on you. With this in mind, below is a great basic reminder of you and your family can stay sun smart.

A Hat!

Let’s start at the top with your hat. When it comes to hats, the bigger the brim or visor, the better. If possible, try to find a hat that you like which covers the entirety of your head and not just your face. If you have little ones that enjoy playing out in the yard, hats with a back panel that covers their necks is a great idea.

Sunglasses!

Glare can be a powerful thing that can cause you serious eye damage. It also makes it mighty difficult to see where you are going and what you are doing. Check out the Groupon Coupons page for Ray Ban and pick up some polarized sunglasses to provide superior eye protection from the sun.

Shirt or Singlet

You shoulders are going to catch the brunt of the sun’s rays so do what you can to keep them covered with a t-shirt or light jacket or shawl. If you are going to be outside undertaking a strenuous activity and are tempted to wear a singlet instead, try a t-shirt with ventilation technology that can keep you cool and protected.

Pants or Shorts

As you can imagine from the tip above, full coverage is going to be your best option. Again, if you are working outdoors or exercising in the sun, look for pants the include some form of ventilation to help keep you cool. If you find that you sweat a lot, also look for pants that can draw the sweat away from your skin to reduce the chances of you getting chills and potentially ill.

Shoes?

You betcha! After your shoulders, it’s your feet that get the most sun and are also the most neglected. Unless you are at the beach, sneakers or regular boots and shoes are going to be your best defense against the sun.

Sunscreen!

Last, and certainly not least is your sunscreen! It doesn’t matter if you are going out for an hour or a day or if just a small part of your skin is showing, always make sure that you are protected with sunscreen. When choosing the one for you, be sure to identify its strength and water resistance. If you or the wearer will be entering the ocean or a pool then it’s important to choose a sunscreen that can offer protection while they swim and enjoy the water.

When it comes to protecting yourself from the sun, common sense is going to be your best tool! So before you head out to enjoy the remainder of the warm weather, be sure to take these items into account and stay safe!
